Dry lips (in absence of dehydration or cold air exposure) however, are often an indicator of vitamin deficiencies.
If you notice additional symptoms such as fluid retention, fatigue and urine which is foamy, bloody or painful, your kidneys may an issue (please see your GP!) but generally, kidneys are not the issue if dry lips are the only problem.
The common vitamins responsible for dry lips are vitamins A, B, C and essential fatty acids or fish oils.
A visit to a Naturopath to assess which of these vitamins should be supplemented may be worthwhile.
You can make a start by increasing oily fish, nuts and seeds, egg yolks, red meat, pumpkin, sweet potato and green leafy vegetables in your diet.
